Bareboat charter in Croatia is one of the most popular forms of exploring the Adriatic Sea and magnificent Croatian coastline. Nautical tourism certainly represents one of the most attractive forms of the overall tourism offer of the Republic of Croatia. We can rightfully say that Croatia, the land of the thousands islands and a beautiful, indented coastline is a „haven for boaters“. 1185 islands, islets and cliffs located in front of 1777 kilometers long a coast, tell an exceptional story about beauty, be that of solitude or colorful diversity of inhabited islands. The first trip to the already familiar beauty of this country, always different but equally breathtaking.

Croatia is home to 50 marinas, all gathered together under the Croatian Marinas Group, with a capacity of over 13,200 sea berths and 4,500 dry berths. The marinas are constantly working to upgrade and enrich their services, and to adapt to the modern needs and wants of nautical guestes. In order to rent a sailing boat, motor boat, catamaran or any kind of bareboat yacht, guests must posses a valid recreational craft license, and must also have a radio certificate (can be obtained in all Port Authorities). Upon bareboat rental, it is necessary to fill out and certify the crew list. All changes to the crew while sailing must be reported to the Port Authority.

Safety at Sea

Sea is unpredictable and you should always deal with it with respect. Even on a brightest sunny day, things can change in a heartbeat. The sea is unpredictable by nature, but here in Croatia we are fortunate because Adriatic sea is not that unpredictable. Nevertheless, you should take every precaution before you set sails. You are advised to mark down all the marinas and natural bays along your sailing route which you can use as shelter if the need occurs. You should also write down port authority phone numbers and VHF channels available in your sailing area.
